California authorities are giving Planned Parenthood $140 million to keep 109 clinics open and remove some funding from cuts imposed by Republicans in Washington, Democrat Gov. Gavin Newlom.
NewsOm said the move affirms the government’s continued commitment to abortion for women in the Golden State Office amid President Donald Trump’s and Republican efforts to defund Planned Parenthood.
“California is a reproductive freedom state, and this latest investment continues to demonstrate our belief in protecting access to essential health care in times of need,” NewsOm said in a statement Thursday. “Trump’s efforts to decriminalize Planned Parenthood put all of our communities at risk as people demand basic health care from these public providers.”

Planned Parenthood had announced it would end primary care at clinics in Orange and San Bernardino Counties starting in December. Five other clinics in the Bay Area, Santa Cruz and the Central Valley, were also shut down in recent months as a result of the organization’s efforts to remove the organization.
Dr. Jacet Jacobson, medical director of the Orange and San Bernardino Counties Calcies, said that the state’s actions are “destroying our care system.”
Jacobson said: “It’s the power to take away people’s health care. “People with medi-cal should be able to see a provider of their choice for primary care.”
Planned Parenthood needs $27 million a month to operate all of its local centers, Jodi Hicks, President and CEO of California Parenthood Communications, told reporters.
“California’s organized sex partners are grateful to the governor and our partners in the Legislature for taking on this much-needed agency to protect organized health centers,” Hick said of the impact.
California is the fourth state to allocate public money to fund Planned Parenthood, joining Washington, Colorado and New Mexico. Lawmakers in Oregon and New York are also considering donating public money to the organization.

“We’re planning a place where there’s no federal funding,” Adams told Cool. “What it looks like is charging patients a certain amount of money for the services we provide.”
The organization has said that abortions make up only 3% of its services, but Pro-Life groups that ensure the closure of clinics when abortions are banned prove that to be false.

“If it was true, they wouldn’t be closing all these Pro-Life places that say you can’t have an abortion. So that’s no more abortion.
NewsOM, California lawmakers and Planned Parenthood have spent much of the year looking for a solution to keep the organization afloat without dollars.
